There are two ways to change the calendar year in DAS depending on how you use the software:

• If you use DAS for payroll purposes only, you can manually change the calendar year via the Client menu.

• If you use DAS’ Accounting (bookkeeping) module, do NOT use the Client menu; doing so can result in changes to journal totals. Instead, perform a year-end close in the prior-year software.
